Zaatar

Ever since Shane and I went to a Lebanese restaurant last year, and had pita bread with a REALLY good spice mixture as an appetizer, I've been obsessed with finding out what the spices were.  I did find out, and it's called Zaatar, sometimes spelled as Za'atar, and it's usually a mixture of oregano, sesame seeds and sumac, blended with salt and olive oil.  So I finally found some already mixed up (I couldn't find sumac anywhere), and I made some Arabian bread from a recipe I found online, and put the zaatar mixture on top, and we had lentil soup with it.  Really tasty...  Here's the link to the bread recipe... http://www.wanderingspice.com/2011/09/07/manaeesh-bi-zaatar-zaatar-pastries/


This is the bread before going in the oven.
